"The Calvary of the Sailors, located in the Courtgain district, recalls the maritime past of Saint Valéry sur Somme.
Facing the sea, it offers a beautiful panorama over the Bay of Somme.
The wrought-iron cross, sculpted in 1851, was restored in 1990. The women and children of Courtgain, the district of fishing sailors, came to Calvary to watch for the return of the boats. "
